Both of these songs retain the core elements of punk but lean a little more toward the alternative rock side, displaying more groove with an emphasis on musicality.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-center font_8\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mqdefault-8-9.jpg\" wix-comp=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;innercomp_txtMediapgg&quot;,&quot;dataQuery&quot;:&quot;txtMediapgg&quot;,&quot;propertyQuery&quot;:&quot;txtMediapgg&quot;,&quot;componentType&quot;:&quot;wysiwyg.viewer.components.Video&quot;,&quot;styleId&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;wysiwyg.viewer.skins.VideoSkin&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mqdefault-8-9.jpg&quot;,&quot;minWidth&quot;:&quot;240px&quot;,&quot;minHeight&quot;:&quot;180px&quot;,&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;a0RudDx6Qvw&quot;,&quot;videoType&quot;:&quot;YOUTUBE&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:1,&quot;dimsRatio&quot;:0.5625,&quot;display&quot;:&quot;block&quot;,&quot;marginLeft&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;marginRight&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;isFullSize&quot;:true}\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 15px;\" class=\"font_9\"><span style=\"color:#b5b5b5;\"><span class=\"inherit-font-size\" style=\"font-size:15px;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 15px;\" class=\"font_9\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 15px;\" class=\"font_9\"><span style=\"color:#b5b5b5;\"><span style=\"font-size:15px;\">What goes up must come down, and that\u2019s not always a bad thing.&nbsp; After the blast furnace energy of its predecessors, \u201cOld Book\u201d serves as a bit of an interlude.&nbsp; The song features only bluesy slide guitar and vocals, and it is an interesting and satisfying change of pace.&nbsp; The chord changes suggest a hint of melancholy, which perfectly underscore the bulk of the lyrics, which lament that the singer feels like \u201can old book left out in the rain\u201d.&nbsp; As with every song on this album, the listener is not left with pity for the song\u2019s subject, but hope, as the lyrics tell us that their author is also not giving up hope. \u201cWill I let it put me down the drain?&nbsp; I hope not\u201d. The music then swings back to its opening blues melody.<\/p>\n<p>That thread of positivity and hope is found all throughout this album, and one of the best examples of this is found in the very next song.&nbsp; \u201cBullet\u201d picks the energy back up again with a great combination of punk and ska influence. The song uses the imagery of a gun and paints a picture of frustration, but as the song nears its middle, the music winds down and the tone changes from a feeling of angst to something that is tender, if not sweet.&nbsp; As the tone changes, it feels as if everything on this album has pointed to this moment, as the lyrics passionately proclaim that \u201cAmazing grace is piercing me, the bullet goes where it needs to be\u201d. It is a brilliant moment and it displays the depth of the songwriting ability of A Broken Line.<\/p>\n<p>As great as the album has been up to this point, the only dents in its armor appear in the next two tracks.&nbsp; I would never think to tell an artist what they should or should not do, but as a listener, it feels like they get away from what they do best. &nbsp; \u201cPromises and Mistakes\u201d is a mid-tempo song that doesn\u2019t seem to go anywhere until it is almost over. Just as the song feels like it\u2019s about to take off, with some thick chords and steady drums, it winds back down and ends.&nbsp; This is followed by \u201cStingray Shuffle\u201d, a loose, instrumental jam that has a really nice groove and a lot of potential. Even with these positive elements working for it, the song feels almost too loose, as if it were being worked out early in the writing process rather than representing a finished product.&nbsp; I would love to hear a tight, polished version of what they have here, as it is a catchy tune with a lot of groove.<\/p>\n<p>The three songs that follow not only find the band back to doing what they do best musically, but also lyrically.&nbsp; \u201cThe Big Rhythm\u201d recalls \u201cThat old song about faith and hanging on\u201d and then puts faith and perseverance into action, proclaiming \u201cBut me, I\u2019ll never change nothing more than my socks cuz I believe that\u2019s the right way to live.&nbsp; And I still believe in a grand design. I believe in redemption and the need to be kind\u201d. Two sentences from \u201cWaiting Outside\u201d put an exclamation point on bottom line for everything: \u201cAnd everybody\u2019s building walls and taking stands.&nbsp; But me, I found my way out through the wounds in His hands\u201d. Following \u201cIt\u2019s Getting Cold\u201d, an energetic dose of pop punk, the album is closed out with a beautiful instrumental acoustic guitar piece entitled \u201cZosima\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 15px;\" class=\"font_9\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-center font_8\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/39dbb9_ce8d8699aacb45e6baa059e70983f1ea-mv2-6.jpg\" wix-comp=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;innercomp_txtMediag6v&quot;,&quot;dataQuery&quot;:&quot;txtMediag6v&quot;,&quot;propertyQuery&quot;:&quot;txtMediag6v&quot;,&quot;componentType&quot;:&quot;wysiwyg.viewer.components.WPhoto&quot;,&quot;styleId&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;wysiwyg.viewer.skins.photo.NoSkinPhoto&quot;,&quot;display&quot;:&quot;block&quot;,&quot;marginLeft&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;marginRight&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:1,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;\/\/static.wixstatic.com\/media\/39dbb9_ce8d8699aacb45e6baa059e70983f1ea~mv2.jpg&quot;,&quot;isFullSize&quot;:true}\" width=\"626\" height=\"455.41499999999996\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 15px;\" class=\"font_9\"><span style=\"color:#b5b5b5;\"><span class=\"inherit-font-size\" style=\"font-size:15px;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 15px;\" class=\"font_9\"><span style=\"color:#b5b5b5;\"><span style=\"font-size:15px;\">The production of <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Rat Beach<\/span> does a great job of capturing the genre.&nbsp; The album doesn\u2019t sound like a live concert album, but it does have a very \u201clive\u201d feel to it.&nbsp; Each instrument has its own distinct place in the sound spectrum, giving the album a full, well-rounded feeling while keeping the songs gritty and raw.&nbsp; The bass is heavy, the guitars are thick and the drums perfectly punctuate all of it. It is easy to picture yourself listening to these songs in a hot, sweaty club.&nbsp; As a side note, I would be willing to go out on a limb and say that A Broken Line would be a great band to see in a concert atmosphere.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"align-center font_8\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mqdefault-2-5.jpg\" wix-comp=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;innercomp_txtMedia11k&quot;,&quot;dataQuery&quot;:&quot;txtMedia11k&quot;,&quot;propertyQuery&quot;:&quot;txtMedia11k&quot;,&quot;componentType&quot;:&quot;wysiwyg.viewer.components.Video&quot;,&quot;styleId&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;wysiwyg.viewer.skins.VideoSkin&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mqdefault-2-5.jpg&quot;,&quot;minWidth&quot;:&quot;240px&quot;,&quot;minHeight&quot;:&quot;180px&quot;,&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;e7zV6AgMynk&quot;,&quot;videoType&quot;:&quot;YOUTUBE&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:1,&quot;dimsRatio&quot;:0.5625,&quot;display&quot;:&quot;block&quot;,&quot;marginLeft&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;marginRight&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;isFullSize&quot;:true}\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 15px;\" class=\"font_9\"><span style=\"color:#b5b5b5;\"><span class=\"inherit-font-size\" style=\"font-size:15px;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 15px;\" class=\"font_9\"><span style=\"color:#b5b5b5;\"><span style=\"font-size:15px;\">As mentioned in the opening, this album is full of heart, and the personality of the band shines through the music.&nbsp; By the time the album ends you are left with the impression that you have gotten to know these guys and that they would be a blast to spend some time with.&nbsp; In the end, my first impression of Rat Beach proved to be true. This is a very fun and uplifting album, full of energy, with some surprises along the way.<\/span><span style=\"font-size:15px;\"> (Thumperpunk Records)<\/span><span style=\"font-size:15px;\"> 3.5 out
